Bach to nature--A Tilden Park inspired serenade

My hike in Tilden Park gave impetus to a video with photos and great music combined.

I didn't think twice about getting double mileage in re-learning J.S. Bach's ethereal Prelude in C minor, BWV 847. It turned out to be nature-inspired.

On a late afternoon trail trek to Tilden Park, I came equipped with a modest Sony Cyber shot digi-cam that provided a generous supply of photos.

These would eventually be imported to my Baroque soundtrack.

First I recorded the music LIVE on the MAC, before blowing up my hands in an early morning camcorder snatch of my own upload on You Tube. The undertaking was challenging with interspersed interruptions by a droning BART train, Amtrak whistles, a garbage pick-up, whizzing cars, and squeaky buses. Yet chirping birds outside, provided a desired accompaniment.

Before I post the video link, here's a stream of my favorite Tilden Park photos.
